MCPS is spamming me - Anti Racist audit survey

[Anonymous]

The best part about the first email tonight was having to send the second email since the survey link was bad. What a bunch of F-ups.

MCPS employee (and parent). I also got a few emails sent to my work account

Yeah I gave OP the sideeye initially for complaining about this but I am now fully on board with her. I took it a month ago and this is ridiculous.

Did anyone think the voice on the robo call sounded like Jack Smith?

Fellow mcps employee and parent…I see they can communicate when they want to. I’m tempted to block their texts. It’s overkill.

Look at how popular the "Black at B-CC" "Black at Whitman" accounts were - we can't support equity and diversity unless we create accountability, which was the main theme of those posts ("nothing was done to help me in that situation" or "I'm not doing well because I don't feel genuinely affirmed in this environment and I spend more time here than at home in the course of a typical week"). Think deep down about exactly why those emails bother y'all and other ones don't - for once, you aren't centered, it rightly calls into question your daily experiences/habits, and for once, people who have been undermined are getting what they deserve. It is individuals with mindsets like yours who are going to hurt our county's rep - just because you're liberal or "progressive", doesn't mean you express that selectively or not support causes such as this.

So well said. +1

Actually excessive emails, calls, texts bother me regardless of the subject.

Very ignorant, stupid statement.

I am not white, my children have been the recipients of racism in MCPS, and I am annoyed they are harassing us with this survey when clearly they have no intention of correcting the fundamentals and just mean to intensely convey to everybody that "they are doing something". When in reality, nothing will change. I see you, MCPS. I replied to the survey, 99% of which was entirely useless, by reiterating in the comment box what my complaints were. They know. They have heard me before.

And you are a privileged fool for thinking as you do.

Yes, because the solution to racism is a survey. We're saved!

To solve the problem, you must tangibly measure it. Every data point helps.

Nothing will change. But you could have chosen a more diverse school.

There are many problems in MCPS. Discrimination against students with disabilities is one of them that has data points such as Letters of Findings from complaints filed against MCPS. How many Letters of Findings for racial discrimination?

$450,000 for the Anti Racial Survey. What a waste.
